Elephant Festivals of Kerala.

Not elephant bones..elephant tusks....hihi


Sunil, when this proverb was developed, value of money was very high. Due to inflation, that 1 lakh has now become 60-70 lakhs.
That day, kalyani has agreed to start a circus company and we people shall assist her. What do you say?

I am ready to offer my services if the circus is in need of jokers. But would they take a joker 183 cm tall, I think mostly dwarf fit the role. :laugh:

Because of this thread and article only I come to know about elephant festival.

Wow!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

You selected my most favourite topic :woohoo: :woohoo: :silly: :silly:


Yes, elephant festivals are a part of kerala temple...particularly Thrissur district, known as poorams.

But today when I read newspaper, I was very much surprised to see a news.....
It's elephant pooram of a christian church.....everything the same..... :silly:
I think more than 30 elephants :blink:
I will attach its photo very soon...wait for me

I had a penchant for drawing elephants in different moods and postures. This has drawn me towards all elephant related festivals

Yesterday i told about a church in Thrissur where elephant festival is held.
See this picture and count number of elephants if you can :woohoo: :woohoo:

Fantastic photos Sandhyaji.
In elephant festivals, elephants are auctioned or sold for fixed prices.

Karnataka and Kerala have almost the same elephant population at 6000+..Elephants play a major role in Dusserah festival in Karnataka especially in Mysore where the festival is held on a very grand scale and thee is an elephant procession on the last day Vijaya Dashami..

If you have 60 or 70 lakhs in hand, come to Kerala and buy a good one..take elephant insurance and tax as well :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Thrissur is a land of elephants...everywhere you turn you will see elephants
